Do the standard sort of checks for the hunting idle problem, blue temp sender, throttle switches, vacuum leaks etc. 

Clutch being dodgy shouldn't affect it. :smiley:

i had this very problem with my 16v. would cut when i dipped the clutch - especially at junctions. i changed my isv which didn't help. also replaced all the vacuum hoses as i suspected an air leak too. mine turned out to be the micro switch on the throttle mech was not being pressed when the throttle was returning to idle. i don't know if 8v's have a simular switch? alligning this switch fixed the problem for me.

another thing if it's out of gear it'll return the idle spot on.

maybe worth getting the clutch done then..there goes another £171 that i really can't afford! got £100 put away for next payday but maybe i should get it done before?
